Very nice carriage house on three stories. Stairs may be a bit tricky for older folks. Easy walking to restaurants, pubs, coffee, bakeries and ice cream on Shiloh Street. And the 30-second walk to that Mount Washington view is wonderful!

The house is located in a great location, close to Shiloh St. on Mt. Washington, with easy access to Station Square via incline or driving. Setup of home is a little quirky with bedroom/hot tub on the 3rd level, living room/dining area and half bath on 2nd level and kitchen and full bath on ground floor. Other than that, home was comfortable and well-kept with easy walkability to all retail establishments needed (groceries, drug store, restaurant, liquor store).

Great Spot for a Long Weekend in Pittsburgh

Great cottage in an excellent location, with beautiful views of the city from Mt. Washington. Owners were awesome, and even left us some “welcome muffins,” which was a nice touch. Would suggest knowing how to parallel park on your right and left.

Really great place just outside of downtown Pittsburgh

We had a wonderful stay at a place with some wonderful, thoughtful hosts. It’s definitely a place geared towards those traveling solo or as a couple. The neighborhood places to eat and drink are all wonderful and we really did try to try them all over our four days. I would absolutely stay here again if I’m ever back in the ‘Burgh.

This was a very unique home with plenty of space and lots of character. Our hosts were clear with expectations and that made our stay easier. This home is located in the perfect place in the Mt. Washington area of Pittsburgh. There are local stores right down the street and fun things and places to go right down the block!The WiFi access is great as well.Any time we contacted our hosts, they responded very quickly and were especially kind toward us.

Wonderful Weekend

Adam and Kathy were wonderful hosts. The property had everything we needed for our short stay for a friend’s wedding. They even accommodated our late arrival by setting up an electronic parking pass for us for our rental car so we didn’t need to worry about a thing. Would recommend to anyone wanting to enjoy beautiful Pittsburgh skyline views.

The cottage was clean and listed correctly. It is a 2min walk from many different eateries. Kathy was extremely informative of different places to indulge from breakfast, lunch, dinner and desserts. I had a small problem logging into the internet and she stayed on the phone with me until the problem was solved. She's incredibly sweet and helpful. I would definitely stay here again in the future. Thank you Kathy for having me and thank you for the the muffins. I thoroughly appreciate and enjoyed them.

About the host

Hosted by KATHY M SEDLOCK

Host profile image
My wife and I live in the SW PA Mountains. We bought this house for a second home to use when we go to the City of Pittsburgh (Pittsburgese THE BURG )
I am a Psychologist practicing in Pittsburgh and Altoona with UPMC Med Centers. I am semi-retired from my private practice.
My wife is currently a teacher and is retired Chief Financial Officer of our Outpatient Mental Health Clinic .
We love to travel and have really enjoyed sharing our little Maple Terrace Carriage House with folks from all over the world.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the house and the area of Mt Washington. There is so much to do here. It is so relaxing to know that we can park our car and walk or take public transportation to just about everything in the city.
Mount Washington is a safe area and the opportunity to walk to Stores, Bars and Restaurants, Pharmacy, Banks, Flower shops, Gift shops, Ice Cream and Coffee shop, Liquor store, Post office, Grocery store, Pizza shop and Library makes the area and its
" wakability"so very special.
Mount Washington itself has so much history.
The Grandview area has a special walking trail called the Emerald Walkway. There are hiking trails throughout the area and parks within walking distance. The Appalachian Trail Bike Hike Trail starts here in Pittsburgh and ends in Washington DC.
The property in itself is very unique, it was built with antique windows, hand carved doors, cut glass and hand carved wooden faces that greet you at the door.

What makes this property unique

This little house was built by a man who had access to parts of historical homes from the Mexican War Section of the city of Pittsburgh. He incorporated the beautiful sconces, hand carved doors and stained glass windows when recreating this little carriage house.
